9 Disclaimers
Your use of our Services and any content or materials provided therein or therewith (including the Third-Party Content and Third-Party Materials) is at your sole risk. Except as otherwise provided in a writing by us and to the fullest extent permitted under applicable law, our Services, and any content or materials provided therein or therewith (including the Third-Party Content and Third-Party Materials) are provided “as is” and “as available” without warranties of any kind, either express or implied. Gevo disclaims all warranties with respect to the foregoing, including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, and non-infringement. In addition, Gevo does not represent or warrant that our Services or any content provided therein or therewith (including the Third-Party Content and Third-Party Materials) are accurate, complete, reliable, current, or error-free or that access to our Services or any content provided therein or therewith (including the Third-Party Content and Third-Party Materials) will be uninterrupted. While Gevo attempts to make your use of our Services and any content provided therein or therewith (including the Third-Party Content and Third-Party Materials) safe, we cannot and do not represent or warrant that our Services or any content provided therein or therewith (including the Third-Party Content and Third-Party Materials) or our servers are free of viruses or other harmful components or content or materials. You assume the entire risk as to the quality and performance of the Services and any content provided therein or therewith (including the Third-Party Content and Third-Party Materials). All disclaimers of any kind (including in this section and elsewhere in these Terms) are made for the benefit of Gevo, Gevo Parties, and the Gevo Parties’ respective shareholders, agents, representatives, licensors, suppliers, and service providers, as well as their respective successors and assigns.
10 Limitation of Liability
(a) To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Gevo and the other Gevo Parties will not be liable to you under any theory of liability—whether based in contract, tort, negligence, strict liability, warranty, or otherwise—for any indirect, consequential, exemplary, incidental, punitive, or special damages or lost profits, even if Gevo or the other Gevo Parties have been advised of the possibility of such damages.
(b) The total liability of Gevo and the other Gevo Parties for any claim arising out of or relating to these Terms or our Services, regardless of the form of the action, is limited to U.S.$10.
(c) The limitations set forth in this Section 10 will not limit or exclude liability for the gross negligence, fraud, or intentional misconduct of Gevo or the other Gevo Parties or for any other matters in which liability cannot be excluded or limited under applicable law. Additionally, some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitations or exclusions may not apply to you.
11 Release
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, you release Gevo and the other Gevo Parties from responsibility, liability, claims, demands, and/or damages (actual and consequential) of every kind and nature, known and unknown (including claims of negligence), arising out of or related to disputes between users and the acts or omissions of third parties.
12 Dispute Resolution; Binding Arbitration
Please read the following section carefully because it requires you to arbitrate certain disputes and claims with Gevo and limits the manner in which you can seek relief from us, unless you opt out of arbitration by following the instructions set forth below. No class or representative actions or arbitrations are allowed under this arbitration provision. In addition, arbitration precludes you from suing in court or having a jury trial.
(a) No Representative Actions. You and Gevo agree that any dispute arising out of or related to these Terms or our Site is personal to you and Gevo and that any dispute will be resolved solely through individual action, and will not be brought as a class arbitration, class action or any other type of representative proceeding.
(b) Arbitration of Disputes. Except for small claims disputes in which you or Gevo seeks to bring an individual action in small claims court located in the county of your billing address or disputes in which you or Gevo seeks injunctive or other equitable relief for the alleged infringement or misappropriation of intellectual property, you and Gevo waive your rights to a jury trial and to have any other dispute arising out of or related to these Terms or our Site, including claims related to privacy and data security, (collectively, “Disputes”) resolved in court. Instead, for any Dispute that you have against Gevo you agree to first contact Gevo and attempt to resolve the claim informally by sending a written notice of your claim (“Notice”) to Gevo by email at legal@gevo.com. The Notice must (i) include your name, residence address, email address, and telephone number; (ii) describe the nature and basis of the Dispute; and (iii) set forth the specific relief sought. Our notice to you will be similar in form to that described above, and we will contact you at the email or mailing address you have provided.
If you and Gevo cannot reach an agreement to resolve the Dispute within thirty (30) days after such Notice is received, or longer if agreed in writing by the parties, then either party may submit the Dispute to binding arbitration administered by The American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) or, under the limited circumstances set forth above, in court. All Disputes submitted to the AAA will be resolved through confidential, binding arbitration before one arbitrator. Arbitration proceedings will be held in Denver County, Colorado unless you are a consumer, in which case you may elect to hold the arbitration in your county of residence. For purposes of this Section 12, a “consumer” means a person using the Site for personal, family or household purposes. If you are a consumer, the rules applicable to Disputes between you and Gevo are the then-current version of the AAA’s Consumer Arbitration Rules, as modified by these Dispute Resolution Terms.
You and Gevo agree that these Terms affect interstate commerce and that the enforceability of this Section 12 will be substantively and procedurally governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. § 1, et seq. (the “FAA”), to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law. As limited by the FAA, these Terms and the AAA Rules, the arbitrator will have exclusive authority to make all procedural and substantive decisions regarding any Dispute and to grant any remedy that would otherwise be available in court, including the power to determine the question of arbitrability, validity, enforceability, and scope. The arbitrator may conduct only an individual arbitration and may not consolidate more than one individual’s claims, preside over any type of class or representative proceeding or preside over any proceeding involving more than one individual.
The arbitration may allow for the discovery or exchange of non-privileged information relevant to the Dispute. The arbitrator, Gevo, and you will maintain the confidentiality of any arbitration proceedings, judgments and awards, including information gathered, prepared and presented for purposes of the arbitration or related to the Dispute(s) therein. The arbitrator will have the authority to make appropriate rulings to safeguard confidentiality, unless the law provides to the contrary. The duty of confidentiality does not apply to the extent that disclosure is necessary to prepare for or conduct the arbitration hearing on the merits, in connection with a court application for a preliminary remedy or in connection with a judicial challenge to an arbitration award or its enforcement, or to the extent that disclosure is otherwise required by law or judicial decision.
To the extent permitted by law, a claimant must pay all reasonable costs and fees incurred by the responding party—including arbitration fees, attorney fees, and expert fees—related to a claim if an arbitrator or court determines that (i) the claim was not warranted by existing law or by a nonfrivolous argument or (ii) the claim was filed in arbitration for any improper purpose, including to harass the responding party, cause unnecessary delay, or increase the cost of dispute resolution.
(c) Opting Out of Arbitration. You have the right to opt out of binding arbitration within 30 days of the date you first accepted a version of these Terms by emailing legal@gevo.com. To be effective, the opt-out notice must include your full name, mailing address, and email address and clearly indicate your intent to opt out of binding arbitration. By opting out of binding arbitration, you are agreeing to resolve Disputes in accordance with Section 13.
(d) Two Years to Assert Claims. To the extent permitted by law, any Dispute must be filed within two years after the relevant claim arose; otherwise, the Dispute is permanently barred, which means that you and Gevo will not have the right to assert the claim. .
(e) Severability. If any portion of this Section 12 is found to be unenforceable or unlawful for any reason, (i) the unenforceable or unlawful provision will be severed from these Terms; (ii) severance of the unenforceable or unlawful provision will have no impact whatsoever on the remainder of this Section 12 or the parties’ ability to compel arbitration of any remaining claims on an individual basis pursuant to this Section 12; and (iii) to the extent that any claims may proceed on a class, collective, consolidated, or representative basis, such claims must be litigated in a civil court of competent jurisdiction, in accordance with these Terms, and not in arbitration. The litigation of those claims will be stayed pending the outcome of any individual claims in arbitration. Further, if any part of this Section 12 is found to prohibit an individual claim seeking public injunctive relief, that provision will have no effect to the extent such relief is allowed to be sought out of arbitration, and the remainder of this Section 12 will be enforceable.
13 Governing Law
Any dispute, claim, or controversy that arises from or relates to these Terms will be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Colorado, except to the extent preempted by U.S. Federal Law, without regard to conflict of law rules or principles (whether of the State of Colorado or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the laws of any other jurisdiction. If any dispute, claim, or controversy that arises from or relates to these Terms is not subject to arbitration pursuant to Section 12, then the state and federal courts located in the County of Denver, Colorado, United States, will have exclusive jurisdiction. You and Gevo waive any objection to venue in any such courts. If your local law requires that consumer contracts be interpreted subject to local law and enforced in the courts of that jurisdiction, this section may not apply to you only to the extent that local law conflicts with this section.
14 Modifying and Terminating Our Services
We reserve the right to modify our Services or to suspend or terminate providing all or part of our Services at any time; charge, modify, or waive any fees required to use the Services; or offer opportunities to some or all end users of the Services. We may provide you with notice in advance of the suspension or discontinuation of all or part of our Services, such as by sending an email or providing a notice through our Services. All modifications and additions to the Services will be governed by the Terms, unless otherwise expressly stated by Gevo in writing. You also have the right to stop using our Services at any time, and you may terminate these Terms by ceasing use of our Services. We are not responsible for any loss or harm related to your inability to access or use our Services.
15 Severability
If any portion of these Terms (other than Section 12) is found to be unenforceable or unlawful for any reason, including but not limited to because it is found to be unconscionable, (a) the unenforceable or unlawful provision will be severed from these Terms; (b) severance of the unenforceable or unlawful provision will have no impact whatsoever on the remainder of these Terms; and (c) the unenforceable or unlawful provision may be revised to the extent required to render the Terms enforceable or valid, and the rights and responsibilities of the parties will be interpreted and enforced accordingly, so as to preserve the Terms and the intent of the Terms to the fullest possible extent.
16 Export Control
You are responsible for compliance with United States export controls and for any violation of such controls, including any United States embargoes or other federal rules and regulations restricting exports. You represent, warrant and covenant that you are not (a) located in, or a resident or a national of, any country subject to a U.S. government embargo or other restriction, or that has been designated by the U.S. government as a “terrorist supporting” country; or (b) on any of the U.S. government lists of restricted end users.
17 Miscellaneous
(a) Gevo’s failure to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these Terms will not operate as a waiver of such right or provision. These Terms reflect the entire agreement between the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior agreements, representations, statements, and understandings of the parties. The section titles in these Terms are for convenience only and have no legal or contractual effect. Use of the word “including” will be interpreted to mean “including without limitation.” Except as otherwise provided herein, these Terms are intended solely for the benefit of the parties and are not intended to confer third-party beneficiary rights upon any other person or entity. Communications and transactions between us may be conducted electronically.
